My most successful story was founding a mobile company in 2010 (Galapagos Mobile) in Brazil and selling it in December 2011. In my early days at PeopleSoft I was already learning how analytics can change a business, as a Marketing Manager I learned how to work with a team, do business with other countries and how marketing can affect people’s behavior. As an entrepreneur I learned the big picture, and how you have to make the most out of the resources you have. Finally as CTO I learned how to manage not only a team, but a farm of servers, how to do long terms roadmaps and how keeping things simple help users to understand your product. As CTO, I managed a team of 4 engineers, rebuilt their iPad app and created their iPhone app, created a proxy server in Node.js, build the product roadmap. All features where driven by user tests and analytical results.
